New York, NY -- Ladies, if you want your man to propose, you might want to take tips from "American Beauty" star Mena Suvari.

The actress tells gossip reporter Baird Jones that she basically shamed her hubby, cinematographer Robert Brinkmann, into proposing by taking him to an incredibly beautiful spot in Northern California to watch the sunset.

Then, Suvari set her trap by telling him, "Look, if you aren't going to propose to me now in a place as romantic as this, you're never going to want to propose to me."

Apparently, that did the trick and the two got hitched.

Although Suvari says she was the "enthusiastic one" about tying the knot, she insists the couple have been "very happy together" and celebrate their second wedding anniversary on March 18.

Suvari's latest film, "Spun," which also stars Jason Schwartzman, just premiered in New York.
